Quality


I had the thunderbolt 2 version before this and was equally as happy with the quality


The auto out also works great and you an control the volume with the volume keys on your mac keyboard


However i was unable to the kensington sd4600p to work with the monitor without rebooting the mac every time i connected to the dock


I have zero confidence in caldigit customer support but the product works unlike the owc dock

Price


This is about half the price of a thunderbolt dock

Packaging/appearance


This is just the thing i need and it is working perfectly out of the box


This worked straight out of the box


Was waiting for another company to release their dock but it never happened

Competitiveness


I have been using this with a 15inch macbook touchbar for the past 6 months


Caldigit sales support were awesome and even pretested my unit with a dell p2715q display before shipping


At first i couldnt understand why these actions were happening on a brandnew memoryloaded i7 laptop


So right here and right now i finally can place a 5star stamp on this product

    I have received a notification a couple times that i should use the oem hp charger but it charged just fine tested from a mostly full charge 95 and also drained down below 40 and both times it charged back up fine while using the laptop with the screen on

    The only thing i havent been able to get to work so far has been driving two displays it will drive my 30 hp zr30w just fine via display port at 2560x1600 but i was trying to use an hdmi gt dvi adapter to drive another monitor and it is not recognized at all i may try a direct hdmi connection to a different display and see if i can get that to work
